Reviews

  • Rioflor from Philippines (8/10)

    We like everything, my husband, my child, and I, love everything with our stay in Petercat Hotel.

    We booked a triple room for 3 nights. The location is perfect, the hotel is clean, the staff speaks very good english, the hotel is not big but you will have everything you need. They even have luggage weighing scale. For us, our stay was so worth it. Personally, I was shocked that they have "ikon" items for free takeaway. Amazing. They have a pantry where you can use the microwave, there's hot&cold water, tissue, both wet & dry. Free Coffee, chopsticks, etc.

    As a Filipino with regular size physique, we find our room so spacious. We can even lay open 2 pieces of luggage, 1 XL and 1 Large, together. Highly recommended.
